ALASKA - DAY 2

The next two days of the cruise we spent the whole time on the ship. We had to travel quite a bit of distance to get up from Washington to Alaska. Initially whilst cruising the Puget Sound the water had been quite still and we were going at a fairly slow pace but by day two we were out in open sea and the captain had considerably increased the speed. As a result it took me a little while to get my sea legs, but Andrew (who is quite a knowledgeable person on the subject of sea legs!) said that lots of fresh air and food would help. As a result whilst we were busy cruising up the coast of Canada and onto Alaska day two consisted of us walking around the ship outside, stopping to eat a bit, doing some more walking, some occasional reading time, lots more food and so on!


The evening of day two was the first of our two gala nights where we had the option of dressing up very nicely and eating a posh four course meal in the dining room. Obviously we took that option and enjoyed it very much!


Some night time strolling around the deck ended the evening which was pretty nice. At this point we still couldn't believe we were on the cruise ship and headed to Alaska. In fact we knew that by the time we woke up we'd be in Alaska and headed out to the first glacier. It was crazily surreal and we were loving every minute of it!


Stay tuned for our first actual posts of Alaska in all its amazing glory!
